Kastelruth combines vibrant village life with access to some of the most striking viewpoints in the Dolomites. Its trails reveal both cultural landmarks and alpine grandeur.
Route to the Witches’ Benches (Hexenbänke) via Marinzen Alp: A rewarding 3–4 hour hike leading from the village or chairlift station through alpine meadows to the Puflatsch Plateau, renowned for its wide Dolomite vistas.
Peace Trail (Friedensweg) on the Colle Hill: A contemplative forest path beginning in the village centre, featuring fourteen “stations of peace” along a quiet ascent with panoramic stops.
Kastelruth–Marinzen–Meadow Circuit: A 9.5 km moderate circular walk exploring sunny pastures, rustic huts, and views towards the Alpe di Siusi plateau.
